Potassium Iodide as a Thyroid Blocking Agent in Radiation Emergencies
Mooresville, NC -- January 1, 2002 -- One of the most feared consequences of a nuclear disaster such as a nuclear reactor meltdown,
nuclear bomb or radioactive spill, is the release of a Radioactive Iodine plume into the environment. As reminded by the Chernobyl event, this
Radioactive Iodine can lead to thyroid cancer, especially in children.
Now a Charlotte area company, NukePills.com, is selling the anti-radiation pill", Potassium Iodide, to the general public via the Internet and
local print and broadcast media. Its a little white pill that could save your life.
What makes Radioactive Iodine so dangerous is that the body cannot distinguish it from ordinary iodine. The cells of the thyroid gland (located
in the neck) are the only cells that have the ability to absorb Iodine. The Radioactive Iodine is absorbed by the thyroid and can cause thyroid
disease and cancer later on. Potassium Iodide is a drug that protects the thyroid gland by preventing its absorption of Radioactive Iodine.
Potassium Iodide saturates (blocks) the thyroid with stable iodine, "filling it to capacity". Once filled, the thyroid gland "turns off" its absorption
mechanism, and it will remain off long enough for the Radioactive Iodine to disappear naturally through the kidneys.
NukePills.coms brand of Potassium Iodide pills, called IOSAT, is the only FDA-approved product for radiation emergencies that is now readily
sold to the public. IOSAT has also been sold to local, state and federal governments as well as nuclear facilities. On December 10, 2001 the
FDA issued its final guidance on the use of Potassium Iodide, stating that the FDA maintains that KI [Potassium Iodide] is a safe and effective
means by which to prevent radioiodine uptake by the thyroid gland, under certain specified conditions of use, and thereby obviate the risk of
thyroid cancer in the event of a radiation emergency".
NukePills.com believes it is in the publics best interest to have this over-the-counter drug stored at home or office readily available. The safety
and effectiveness of Potassium Iodide should be used as an adjunct to evacuation (itself not always feasible), sheltering, and control of
foodstuffs as directed by emergency officials in the event of a nuclear radiation emergency. Accidental or not.
